As bad as Gerrit Cole was in his last outing, that’s how good he was against the Guardians on Sunday.
The Yankees, perhaps buoyed by their ace’s renewed dominance, got contributions up and down their lineup and cruised to a series-sweeping 10-2 victory over Cleveland before 39,050 at Yankee Stadium.
Cole threw 6 2/3 shutout innings, Anthony Rizzo, DJ LeMahieu and Tim Locastro hit two-run home runs, Joey Gallo picked up his first extra-base hit and RBI in the season’s 16th game, and every Yankees player reached base at least once — even Marwin Gonzalez and Locastro, both of whom entered late.
